Default Noticed something Odd...

You can set the computer to alert you for two speeds. The second alarm needs to be set while the ignition is off. It can be set as high as 220MPH before it resets to 5MPH. Wonder why they let it go so high?

Was trapped in my car for an hour on a ferry so i re-read the manual and tried it out.

Default 1 beeeelion MPH!

Maybe Audi knows something that we don't? I'd like to see our cars go up to 220MPH...that would be hot (and dangerous).

Default Freakin' AMAZING!!! Did you catch any of the vids?

It was so much fun. Really amazing how this car flies down the track. And it sure does handle too! And in the rain!!!!

I'm officially a track junkie. JD, myself, and hopefully Allan are going to make another round at VIR in October.

Default Sometimes this is determined by how many bits are used...

...to represent the value.

But assuming it is set in 5 mph increments from 5 to 220 MPH, it would require 44 settings. This means six bits are needed, but there's a lot of waste...

IOW, BTSOM!!
